AC 3 is the best AC.

I think Assassins Creed III is the best, cause the scene and the time is more interesting than the caribic ocean from AC 4 - Black Flag. The newest AC - Rogue is also not so bad, because it's like AC III. I played ever Assassins Creed.

Assassin's Creed III is the best AC game I have played so far. It adds new elements to the franchise, new locations, new characters and improved gameplay that makes it feel unique to its franchise, but it is let down by Ubisoft's blatant disregard for PC gamers and their systems.

Pros

+ Great storyline.+ Great characters (You start off as Haythem Kenway and eventually play as his son).+ Improved graphics.+ More fluent free climbing and combat.+ More side quests.+ Naval combat.+ Hunting.+ Fun gameplay.

Cons

- While the combat is more fluent it can be somewhat irritating at times, you will often counter an enemies attack only for him to punch you or to be attacked by another enemy.- Weapons can often be inneffetive, the hidden blade in this game is only good for assassinations. For open combat it is useless, the pistol and bow can be effective but only against weaker enemies.- Terrible stealth mechanics....yet again.- Terrible port (certain areas of the game will have drastic drops in FPS and will dip to mid 30's whereas other areas will have a high framrate and smooth gameplay. Two examples of this are Boston and The Frontier).- Bland and stupid AI.- Riddle with glitches.- Still no ability to save when you like which can be irritating if the game crashes.- The game relies on horses for long-distance travel but it has made no improvements on them, the have very short stamina and often get glitched and stuck into objects.

This game would be fantastic if is was not for the constant drops in framerate and the game ruining bugs and glitches. I would only buy if it is on sale. It is worth the full price but it may leave some players feeling ripped off becuase of the ongoing issues.

Assassin's Creed 3 is part of a long line of games that i'm a huge fan of so this review is a little biased, fair warning.

The game takes place around the revolutionary war, you take the role of a native american child forced into the conflict who tries to save his people with the training of an old assassin but through the game mistakes are made, battles are lost and people fall all because one jerk couldn't keep it in his pants.

This is one of the last assassin's creed games that gave you access to several different weapon types, after this they started restraining you to "a type of sword or big weapon and your hidden blades" so combat is whatever you want to make of it, a fast skirmish with large axes or a long duel with a dagger. The place this game's combat shines is using the special tools at your disposal to lay traps or ambush enemy soldiers like an assassin.

The assassin's creed franchise is known for it's free running, it's a core part of every single game and this game took a lot of steps to improve it and even change some aspects but overall it's still the same old issue of "no i didn't say jump on that!". Despite that it's still satisfying to run along roof tops stabbing red coats which is good because the way the map works. In previous assassin's creed games you'd go to a certain area and reveal a large chunk of the map, in this that still happens but you can't get all the map that way you need to run along certain areas to cut through the fog which is deeply aggrivating.

The story of assassin's creed 3 really shines out through the entire franchise, in past games it's was a simple story line that didn't really attach you to the character much without going through 3 games in ezio's case. In assassin's creed 3 the main character goes through several mistakes, victories and loses on his quest to save his people that by the end you find it hard not to feel sad for him, it really is the best part of the game.

As a tripple A title lots of things slip through the cracks and the game is left unoptimized as hell but this one still does a lot of things well, i give it an 8/10, if you're a fan of the series this is not a game to skip.

I have never played an Assassin's Creed title before, but I saw that with the purchase of Rogue you can get III for free. Is this a good deal in anyone's opinion and a good place to get started in the series as well?
